My barbarians, I tried to put them in a group, to have a comparison of shapes and sizes. +Sketches. This time I tried to make designs based on sketches and my memories to develop my designing skill, as David suggested.

Hey! I've finally completed the 2nd assignment: 1)Figure drawing without (or almost) design as a warm-up 2)Figure drawing+design based on it 3)Depressed shapes 4)Sketching from life, photos and videos. I have a problem with sketching from life: I'm kinda slow, I can't observe and design at the same time (+super shy). @David Colman do you have any advice on how to practice this skill (I mean, something extra to just go practice :))? 
David Colman
Looking great. Honestly there is no magic answer. It comes with time. Just focus on capturing the natural gesture and acting... Then later go back in and try to design from that observation sketch. Over time you will be able to design characters from life on the spot. Eventually you will get over the shyness but it takes some time.

Hi! I would be glad to get your feedback on my assignment. I'm in a quite isolated place now, so I had an opportunity to draw people from life only once+I drew my dog. Other drawings were done from TV and photos (I put a time limit on myself and spent no more than 5 min per sketch). I marked which sketches are done from what source.

These look very nice, the sketch of your dog is my fav. Nice character

I love these and especially the characters and how you captured their body language. Very cool.
